It could be because print media isn’t dead. Or it could be because Australia is the country that the fashion industry is currently turning to in order to make up for their financial shortfalls elsewhere (hence Topshop Australia will open within weeks of its parent company announcing a 38% downturn in profits). Or perhaps it’s a combination of both.

ACP Magazines and joint venture partner, Hearst Magazines International announced today the launch of an Australian edition of the world’s most successful fashion monthly magazine, ELLE, in the autumn of 2012.

The Australian edition of Elle magazine will launch with print and digital interest, including a dedicated app.

He was 5 when his teacher wrote on his report card “Daniel can’t sit still.” Taking it as a compliment, he’s been on the go ever since. Having flown over 590,000 kilometres in a single year (2012), he’s done much to push the boundaries of a fashioniser, always looking to fold one extra Tom Ford suit into his set of Samsonite cases and for one extra occasion to tie a tie for. As much an editor-at-large as he is Fashionising.com’s Editor in Chief, when he's not travelling to all the fashion weeks his passports will allow him to, Daniel works on guiding this publication’s editorial and trend views. He is one of Fashionising.com’s co-founders.
